Daisy's Top Ten Books On My Spring TBR List!

Top Ten Tuesday is an original feature/weekly meme created here at The Broke and the Bookish. This feature was created because we are particularly fond of lists here at The Broke and the Bookish. We'd love to share our lists with other bookish folks and would LOVE to see your top ten lists!

Each week we will post a new Top Ten list that one of our bloggers here at The Broke and the Bookish will answer. Everyone is welcome to join. All we ask is that you link back to The Broke and the Bookish on your own Top Ten Tuesday post AND add your name to the Linky widget so that everyone can check out other bloggers lists! If you don't have a blog, just post your answers as a comment. Have fun with it! It's a fun way to get to know your fellow bloggers.

You guys! It's the first day of spring today!! And what better way to kick off this season which means bye-bye to the nasty cold (a girl can hope right?) than to break out a list with the exciting books coming out between March 20th and June 21st 2012??

I'm doing new releases, but of course it can also be books that are already out, cause a TBR list is just the books you're wanting/hoping to read.

To give you fair warning: you guys know I can never seem to play by the rules right?

1. Masque of the Red Death by Bethany Griffin: the cover for this one is absolutely gorgeous and I've heard people who've been lucky enough to get an ARC gush about it so much I can't wait to read it!

2. Grave Mercy by R.L. LaFevers: it's about NUNS who are ASSASSINS! Enough said really.

3. A Breath of Eyre by Eve Marie Mont: I LOVE Jane Eyre, so this girl falling right into the story is my dream!

4. Bitterblue by Kristin Cashore: I know, I still need to read Fire, but I couldn't resist pre-ordering the shiny new book that will be Bitterblue! I adored Cashore's writing in Graceling and I'm sure I'll love this one as well, I've been hearing nothing but wonderful things about Bitterblue!

5. Until I Die by Amy Plum: the second book in the Revenant series, I absolutely LOVED Die For Me when I read it last year and I can't wait to see what happens next for Kate and Vincent. And the cover is just gorgeous!

6. Shadow and Bone by Leigh Bardugo: YAY NEW FANTASY AUTHOR! I'm really excited about this one, it's supposed to be really good, I can't wait to read it! :) The main character sounds like she'll kick some major behind and I love it when my heroines do that!

7. Of Poseidon by Anna Banks: MERMAIDS! I have a thing for mermaids. And this book sounds amazing!

8. Revived by Cat Patrick: cause really, how could I resist a book that has a main character called Daisy? And one that doesn't sound like she's simpering in a corner for a change?!

9. Struck by Jennifer Bosworth: a girl who is struck by lightning all the time and survives and has strange powers and such. Call me fascinated!

10. The sequels I couldn't all fit into this Top Ten (see, told you I cheat): AKA Black Heart by Holly White (this series is THE awesome!), Goddess Interrupted by Aimee Carter (I really enjoyed the Goddess Test, yay Greek Mythology!), Dreamless by Josephine Angelini (I was DEVASTATED at the end of Starcrossed! And again: YAY MYTHOLOGY!)

So that's my list, I actually went a little crazy and pre-ordered almost all of these... :) What are you all planning to read this spring? Any exciting books I should know about? I'm always looking to add books to my TBR list, so let me know what I forgot/should definitely order as well!

I love that Grave Mercy is #2 on my list as well, ahaha! And doesn't Revived look amazing? And Struck is SO UNBELIEVABLY INTENSE. And I am dying to read my copy of Shadow and Bone! I had to leave it at my parents' house because it kept tempting me! Fabulous list, Daisy!

I got an ARC of Goddess Interrupted and I really really enjoyed it. I think you will be swept away throughout the book and completely surprised at the the end. My Review for that is at http://sistersunedited.blogspot.com/

Grave Mercy is on my TBR List however I did not list this one on mine. I had other that I wanted more. I know I think I have like 20 some books for spring!

Few YA I am dying to read this spring and on my list are: Insurgent by Veronica Roth, Dark Frost by Jennifer Estep and The Girl in the Clockwork Collar by Kady Cross. These series are awesome! Happy Spring Reading!

I am loving your list this week! I am very excited for Masque of the Red Death and Bitterblue as well (though you must read Fire first! First because I adored it, second because I heard Bitterblue has Fire spoilers in it).

Also, we must commiserate about Starcrossed (what the HECK, eding?!) and seriously fingers crossed that Dreamless doesn't end by giving me heart palpitations like the last one.

I haven't read any of Amy Carter's books yet, but it's a good sign that you're so excited for the sequel... definitely need to get around to those goddess books soon!

Feel free to stop by and check out my Top Ten List if you are interested.... Happy Spring Reading!! xx

This is my first time participating. My blog is in Danish, but I hope it's okay :) I know a lot of people just translate it in their browser. Thank you for hosting this!http://boghunden.blogspot.com/2012/03/top-ti-tirsdag-forarsliste.html

Great picks! The Spring TBR was so hard for me to narrow down! I just looked at the Harper, Random House, Penguin, and Macmillan catalogs for Fall and I don't want to even think about narrowing down THAT list! So many great books this year! I read Black Heart a couple of weeks ago and if you think the first two books were THE awesome, just wait! I'm so sad that the series is over, but the end was great! I hope you enjoy it as much as I did! Happy Reading!

I've been really craving some great nonfiction lately, so my number one is The Undead: Organ Harvesting, the Ice-Water Test, Beating Heart Cadavers--How Medicine is Blurring the Lines Between Life and Death by Richard Teresi!

This is my first Top Ten Tuesday experience. I loved this weeks list. Spring is finally here and I can't wait to be able to sit outside in the nice weather and read. Here's my list https://sites.google.com/site/bookblogeannucci/top-ten-tuesday

Most of the books you listed I either hadn't yet looked into or had not really known of except for Breath of Eyre. Fortunately (or unfortunately), these are almost all added onto my TBR list. There are just so many potentially great books to be read! Great list!

I really shouldn't be thinking about getting any more new books as i already have so many to be read, but there are at least a couple on your list that really pique my interest, especially the one about nuns who are assassins!

So many good books coming out this Spring! I need more time to read them! I am so excited to read Grave Mercy, it sounds right up my alley. Also with you on Bitterblue, I LOVED Graceling and Fire is sitting on my shelf waiting to be picked up right now (hopefully before May 1st!) Thanks for the great list and some new books to look forward to!
